remove search icon in header banner

  • Template: REVIVE
    I want to remove the search icon at the bottom center of the banner header. It apparently is a default and i successfully removed it once but when i updated the template it appeared again. I received a reply in this forum to use this code:

    #search-icon {
display: none;
}

    i’ve tried changing the display to “none” in the main.css but it doesn’t work and i cannot locate where in the css to insert the code i was given above.
    Any ideas for help here?

  • Hi Astephens,

    Go to the below URL find the default.css file and update the line number 118 replace with

    https://gch.gracechurchhouston.com/wp-content/themes/revive/assets/theme-styles/css/default.css

    Actual code:

    #search-icon {
 display:block;
 text-align:center;
 margin-bottom:10px
}

    Updated code:

    #search-icon {
 display:none !important;
 text-align:center;
 margin-bottom:10px
}

    Often these search controls etc are in the default widgets.

    Also you should NEVER change the theme files for just the reason you have found, the changes will be lost when the theme is updated. To prevent this you should use a child theme, details here:

    Thank you, Bootsgrid…
    I don’t see any line numbers at that link… it’s a solid page of code so i’ll do a bit of searching.
    I’m considering just purchasing the Pro version of the theme and just use the Customizers it includes.
    I appreciate you help and input.
    Thank you both for your replies.

    No need to purchase the pro version on this basis. The WordPress customizer is quite capable to do this.

    I looked in the Appearance > Customize > Heading (and other options in Customize) but didn’t see an option to remove the search icon in the header banner for this Revive theme.

    Pls look in Dashboard > Appearance > Widgets
    Maybe something with “meta”

    This free version doesn’t show anything in Widgets section other than the standard sidebar, footer, and any custom ones i create with the plugin. There’s a blank meta widget on the left but no place to enter code. I wrote InkHive template developer and it sounds like there are more options like you mentioned in the pro version.

    I’m still searching in the code for the right place to enter the “display none”.
    Thanks for you help…
